TULSA, Okla. — Steve Stricker took advantage of Mike Weir’s back-nine collapse Saturday to take the lead into the final round of the Senior PGA Championship.
Stricker shot a 3-under 67 in a stiff north breeze at Southern Hills for a one-stroke lead over Alex Cejka, the senior newcomer who beat Stricker in a playoff this month in the major Regions Tradition in Alabama.
Stricker was at 6-under 204. Cejka shot 68.
Weir was 8 under through 11 holes, then made a double bogey on 12, starting a stretch of giving back five shots in five holes.
